FRS Healthy Energy
Patrick is proud to announce a new partner to his sponsorship roster: The FRS Company, which produces and distributes its FRS Healthy Energy products in a variety of formulations — soft chews, drink concentrates, powdered drink mixes and ready-to drink cans — to suit customers’ needs. Patrick joins FRS’ stable of athletes, including cyclist Lance Armstrong, NBA star Derek Fisher and IndyCar driver Rafa Matos.
Patrick said, “I’m thrilled to be joining forces with FRS Healthy Energy, because they’re a growing company with a great vision and a great product. It’s very important to me that as an athlete I associate myself with companies that I personally believe in and whose products I utilize, and FRS’ products fit that mold for me. They’re low in sugar and additives, taste good and work to fuel my workouts and time in the cockpit. It seems like these days there are tons of wild mixtures in energy drinks packed packed full of all sorts of processed sugars and toxins that are giving people the ‘buzz’ they think they need. With FRS you are getting a kick of sustained energy from natural extracts, so when I need an extra push of energy I get it with the peace of mind that I am not polluting my body. I’m thankful for the opportunity to be involved with them!”
6 Hours of Laguna Seca Preview
For 2010, the American Le Mans Series has switched the date and format of the hugely popular Laguna Seca round. Moving the iconic Northern California circuit’s date to May from October, the ALMS has also created another endurance ‘classic’ to the schedule with the addition of the 6 hour race. The 2009 Laguna Seca round saw Patrick and his teammate sweep the ALMS championships in thrilling style, as Jörg Bergmeister engaged Corvette Racing’s Jan Magnussen in an epic battle to the finish line, and while tempers have cooled since October, Patrick predicts more fireworks in the 2010 edition.
“Coming off of our win at Long Beach tied for the championship, we’re expecting a really intense six-hour endurance ‘sprint’ at Laguna. The Flying Lizard boys nailed it all weekend at Long Beach with the setup, strategy and pit stops, and we’re going to have to be on top of our game to beat the Corvettes, BMWs, Ferraris and our sister Porsche this weekend. We all keep saying it, but it’s true: the competition in the ALMS GT class this year is unreal. As we saw in 2009, it’s often down to less than a car length and there’s even been a fair bit of door banging, but it’s a fantastic show for fans and great to be a part of.”
